    Boomi
    Chose Boomi
    Boomi is one of the best integration platforms out there, but it still has its niche. It is suitable for most integration scenarios especially those that doesn't require very high throughput. The runtime could be hosted on-prem and in the cloud or even in a hybrid mode, which …

    Workato is useful for the rapid development of simple workflow-oriented integrations. It was not designed for large, enterprise integrations like Boomi. Their target audiences and target use cases overlap in some areas, but there are very important differences. We selected …

    Our developers are certified in Workato, Mulesoft and Boomi.We tested Workato and compared it to Mulesoft and Boomi for an IPaaS solution. Workato claims that anyone off the street with no IT training whatsoever can build integrations with their tool. This is absurd. No, …

    Chose Workato
    Workato is much simpler to learn and configure than Dell Boomi. While powerful, I struggled with Boomi's interface. I know Boomi is powerful and trusted by many enterprises, but it seems a little inaccessible to me - the learning curve is a little too steep and I don't have the …

    Chose Workato
    Workato beats the competition pound for pound, not even close. It's a much more enterprise-grade tool, designed from the ground up to be stable, solid, and secure. The other tools I've tried were either buggy, lacking in capability, felt like toys, or were really hard to scale.

    Chose Workato
    We ended up choosing Workato because of how easy it was to get started and because it did everything we needed it to do. It was one of the first products we trialed specifically for this use case even though we had used other products in the past. The trial was enough time to …

    Chose Workato
    In our initial meetings with Boomi, they told us we'd be able to automate all of our processes ourselves. After a few meetings, though, they told us we'd need to contract a team of engineers for 5-6 weeks to build the solution, and we'd need to use engineers whenever we want to …

    Boomi
    Legacy systems often need to be replaced or integrated with new applications in order to modernize businesses. A strong API strategy that avoids custom coding and third-party programs is essential to enable this integration. Boomi's new-age connectivity and integration solutions ensure safe, secure, and robust integration. In the age of information, businesses are under more pressure than ever to be able to collect and manage large amounts of data. This data comes in from a variety of sources, including personalized devices such as voice assistants and wearable tech. While this data can be immensely valuable to businesses, they often lack the infrastructure necessary to handle it effectively. This can lead to data build-up in databases or silos, and can eventually lead to problems with integration and security.

    Workato
    Workato is brilliant to make separate applications work together without much effort or specialists being needed. When specific events on software A should trigger actions on B (or more) and you want that to happen without any development or big budgets, that's where Workato comes into play. It's a great help if you want tasks automated, communications flowing and data synced between different applications.

    Pros
    Boomi
    • Pre-built connectors to almost anything which greatly reduce time to release of your integration needs.
    • Easy to use development platform with drag&drop features. Non-technical people could build simple integration processes in no time.
    • Great user community where you can get quick help if needed. Boomi people hang around there a lot.

    Workato
    • The Workato product interface is brilliantly thought through and designed. The learning curve for first timers is easy enough to get started and build useful things, and Workato really shines in their ability to handle complex triggers and interactions. Workato allows people to build software apps so much faster than by coding each functionality.
    • Workato has fantastic documentation, making things accessible without any holes in the product. The product just works, never has any bugs, never lags, and just generally allows us to see and change exactly what we need to.
    • Workato has an absolutely amazing support team. We tried the free version for a while, then realized it was the single most important software tool we have, and we upgraded. The support at the paid tier is A+, seriously the best from any company we've worked with. Feels more like a good friend then a support rep.

    Cons
    Boomi
    • More from a development perspective. It is always difficult to use the properties features. It takes a while to understand how the data/variables can be used across an integration.
    • Dell Boomi should also invest more on API Management and not just seen as a ETL,ESB tool.
    • Should roll out features more often based on users reviews.

    Workato
    • Customer support - responsive, but often not equipped to help efficiently identify root cause of issue. Need to improve escalation to technical resources and turnaround time
    • Recipe organization and sharing. Can be challenging to copy recipes, or grab recipes from publicly available site. There are often dependencies and errors that have vague descriptions.

    Dell Boomi has provided us with the ability to connect our campus together using our various existing platforms. There are many supported features and have yet to run into something that we cannot do. Its user interface is very intuitive which would allow users to begin developing fairly easily. There is a myriad of resources available

    Workato
    The sheer work Workato eliminates from people's daily jobs is simply a great contribution to people's productivity and a boost to capability. It actually strikes the balance between business and tech teams. It also reduces dependency on developers, and speeds up their delivery too. The only reason it's not a full 10/10 is for the price - it's a bit expensive for what we'd like, and their batch or high data volume processing can be improved.

    Performance
    Boomi
    The atom sphere takes a time to load, when I open a process or when I open a log. One more slow processing is when I import objects from NetSuite.
    About the performance of processing, it looks like Boomi takes a time to initialize some things such as connectors before starting the process. This is also performance we have.

    Boomi
    Boomi support was responsive and knowledgable, however being a closed cloud service, it doesn't have good community support. We found the learning curve to be steep and there aren't avenues like google, forums, or blogs that provide community driven insight into the product or how to go about designing solutions using the tool

    Boomi
    We decided to go with Dell Boomi because another department in our company was already using the software. We did not research competitor applications to use as our business solution. Dell Boomi was very easy and quick to set up, so once we decided to use Dell Boomi for systems integration, we had it set up and running within a few working days.

    We already used Zapier, but since it doesn't support NetSuite we had to choose another automation platform. Now that we've been using Workato for a few months, we have plans to move the stuff we're going through Zapier to Workato. We set up a trial account with all the other platforms, and they were all more expensive and A LOT more complicated than Workato.

    Return on Investment
    Boomi
    • It has allowed us to scale significantly without having to add headcount, specifically those geared towards data entry. We went from a $10m ARR business to $200m ARR business with the same amount of Order Processors and 12x amount of transactions by leveraging Boomi to perform a lot of the work, and then having the Order Processing team to simply review that the transaction was processed successfully.

    Workato
    • As business consultants, Workato has greatly improved our offerings to our clients as well as improved the time frame to implement automated workflows and integrations.
    • For our clients, the return on investment is almost immediate. Once a Workato recipe is up and running (which can be done very fast), data is integrating, duplicate data entry and user errors are eliminated, and cross-company KPI metrics are easier to report than ever.
